#BIRTHDAY: 16 Mar – Sandhja from Finland is 35 The Eurovision fortnight can be a long two weeks if they don’t quite go your way. You turn up in the host city a long time before the big Grand Final, and you have to hang in there till […]
#BIRTHDAY: 15 Mar – Kristian Kostov from Bulgaria is 26 It’s trailblazer birthday time. Are you excited? Is it because they were the first participant for their country? Or because they were the first winner for their country? It’s neither. Now we’re firmly established in the 21st Century, […]
#BIRTHDAY: 14 Mar – Kim Floor from Finland is 78 For your viewing pleasure in these exceptional times, we’re going back to a simpler age. A time of cosy contests all over in one short evening. A time of two jurors per country and two jurors only. And […]
